History
The OSI/Network Management Forum was founded in 1988 by eight companies to collaboratively solve systems and operational management issues with the OSI protocols. In 1998 the name was changed to the TeleManagement Forum.
The IPsphere Forum was founded in June 2005 at the Supercomm 2005 trade show in Chicago. It evolved from a group called the Infranet Initiative Council when created by Juniper Networks in 2004. Other notable founding members included Cisco Systems and Alcatel. Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) joined in 2007, and it established a liaison with the Tele-Management Forum later that year. By September 2008 IPsphere Forum merged with the TM Forum.
TM Forum held marketing events called "Content Encounters" at the Management World trade shows in 2007 through 2009. TM Forum's work includes Frameworx, Enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM), Frameworx Shared Information/Data Model (SID) and Telecom Application Map (TAM).
